Where, exactly, is the Eagles' nest?
The Marquette Golden Eagles have become stalwarts in March Madness. Having made the tournament 15 times since 2000, the school is no stranger to success this time of year. Head coach Shaka Smart is hoping to improve on that success as the Eagles soar through the madness once again.
But what has been strange about Marquette is, well, where exactly it is. The NCAA Tournament has never been light on schools with a little bit of geographical mystery for the casual viewer, and that's true even for a tourney regular like Marquette.
Here's what to know about where Marquette calls home:
